Owens Lake is not the source of LA’s water. The Owens River was the source. The dam was built as a storage of water in case an earthquake on the San Andreas Fault severed the aquaduct.

Mulholland built the st Francis damn because the Owens river/ Los Angeles aqueduct was in constant danger of sabotage by Owens valley locals.

Way to make tragedy into a farce there, buddy.

Banjo music? Why?! This makes no sense.

[@SublimeNonsense]

Because I like banjo music.

[@415hispfemale]

Because violinist and pianist were both busy that day? Like, who cares?

Are you kidding me? This killed 500 people and you make a "funny" video about it? Sure, it's a while ago, that this happened, but seriously, what's wrong with you? Since when are 500 deaths something you make a light-hearted, punny video about with happy tunes in the background?

[@SublimeNonsense]

I would say there's a difference between a light-hearted video about the seriousness of our current situation, and making fun of a tragedy. The latter of which was not my intention.

This should be set to the Frank Black song.

[@linedanzer4302]

What's up with the idiotic music for this particular video? Many people (over 450) lost their lives and you want to put some banjo music to the situation?
